Great combo for preamp, mixing, eq, compressor, noise gate
After a year of experience, I have edited my review to share my observations, and why I still would justify buying the GO XLR mini over the other options I tried (like Blue Yeti X with Logitech G-Hub or Voicemeeter or M-Audio or MOTU M2).-The preamp is loud and has a superior tone compared to other preamps I have used. I don’t have a great voice, and this makes me sound good on any mic, which says a lot. It’s full, warm, and balanced and retains a lot of coloration and character in my recordings. The noise is not loud at all. I’ve had quieter self noise on the MOTU M2, but it makes my voice sound a tad muffled. I find the GOXLR Midas preamps have the best balance and sound quality.-EQ, compressor, noise gate, and mix: The EQ, compressor, and noise gate is just minimum customization for pre-processing. It allows for just enough, but it felt limited. In a sense, it’s better that way because if I just customize minimally, I can avoid over-processing and sounding unnatural. It also means that it’s a little easy to over-process if settings are too high.-EQ works great. I found that my settings with different mics are fairly consistent with my surroundings and my voice. Was able to tame some of the annoying clicks, sibilance, room reverb, boom/rumble a tad while retaining the high/mids/lows I need. The GOXLR mini only has 6 frequencies to EQ, so it does feel a tad limited, but at least can do the minimum I require. The normal GOXLR has more options (but bigger and more expensive).-The compressor is so strong it’s too easy to screw it up. I had my attack too low and release too high with not enough make-up gain for the longest time that sometimes it produced a pumping noise. I found out that the attack and release has to be closer to the lower middle end, with a tad higher make-up gain for best results. For low compression, I found 2.5:1 works quite naturally. For higher compression, 4:1 works best overall. Just real sweet without distracting booms.-The noise gate settings are strong, but if slightly adjusted, works great without sounding distracting or taking away from my voice. It’s so strong in fact that I leave it in the minimum settings and it does a great job. Any higher will ruin the quality.-Mixing: Sometimes I have music streaming from my phone in the background. It’s cool to adjust once in awhile for effect. Usually keep it at 35%.-Live monitoring/Playback: The preamp hiss is so loud, I had to buy a 3.5mm filter to get more accurate live monitoring/playback. And it can get LOUD. If not careful, the live monitoring can get so loud it can create an echo or feedback on the mic, or worse yet, hurt my ears. Gotta keep it turned down. Gotta have the filter to cut down the hissing noise. Just to be clear, the hiss is not recorded.-Interface/Menu/Sliders: The software menu isn’t too confusing. It can be used to customize LED settings or save other mic profiles. Using the sliders is fairly straightforward. I find the soft buttons of the mute and bleep to be pleasing to the touch. The Go XLR menu interface is great because it’s not a resource hog, but rather a control center with minimum resource drain because the actual processing is done onboard the Go XLR mini itself, which also makes for smoother output.-Build: It feels sturdy but like all interfaces, it’s a bit clunky and can be awkward to place on a desk. The GOXLR mini is just slightly bigger than the other 2 audio interfaces I used.For $200, the GOXLR is a better deal than all other audio interface and processor combos. High quality audio and pre-processing all in one package.The ONLY issue some people may have with it that I can think of, is that there is only 1 mic XLR input. If you want to podcast with multiple people on one device, this would be a hard no.For my usage scenario: 10/10 – I do not need any other device.
